How to Select q Wife.

Good health, good morals, good sense
and good temper, are the four essentials
for good wife. These are the indispen-
sables. After them come the minor adj
vantages of good looks, accomplishments,
family position, etc. With the first four,
married life will be comfortable and
happy. Lacking either, it will be in more
or less degree failure. Upon good health
depends largely good temper and good
looks, and to some extent good sense also,
as the best mind must be affected more OF
less by the weaknesses and whims attend

wife is falling into state Of lnyalidismi

weaknesses, buy DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-.

THE NOMINEE FOR GOVERNOR.
CINCINNATI, July 21.-Thos. Edward
Powell, nominated to day at Cleveland
for governor, is 80 years old and was borr

a private in an Ohio regiment and served
four months. Subsequently he graduated
and having studied law with Col. w. P
Reid, formed a partnership with him
His political career began il
1872. In 1875 he was nominated

ton of a defeat by smaller majorit!

wishes he was nominated for congress il

RHODE ISLAND LIQUOR LAW.
Chief of State Police Can Forcibly Search
Private Residences.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., July 23.-Searches
and seizures under the prohibitory law,
during the past few days, have created
only temporary panic among Rhode Is
land liquor dealers. The prohibitory law,
as amended, gives the chief of state police
virtually autocratic powers. He and his
deputies can search, seize, arrest and i'm
prison as they may please. Suspicion, of
the reasonableness of which they are
judges, is sufficient to justify, under the
law, forcible entry into a private house.
They might as well, however, try to bail
ont Naragansett bay with water pail as
to endeavor to stop the free sale of liquor
in Providence. There are more places
selling now than under license, and this is
because the people want liquor and will
have it, however stringent the enactments
against IT.

Live Goals.

The following is from the Oshkosh
Times, Democratic paper, on Cleve-
lands letter expressing regret that he
was unable to be present at the I'M
yelling of the statute of Calhoun:
Mr.. Cleveland may assume to be
ignorant of what Calhoun "belieyed
and taught" but the people are not.
Calhoun believed and taught" that
the constitution was onl Y compact, IA
sort of eXecutory contract between the
states, that any state had right to
secede at pleasure, and that there was
no authority in the constitution to
compel Il seeding state to remain in
the Union. He believed and taught"
that not only secession was right, but
that slavery was right. Slavery was
the cornerstone of Calhoun's political
economy. John c. Calhoun is known
to the people of this nation as the
ablest and most persistent advocate of
secession this country has produced.
The South became thoroughly imbued
with his heresies, and jeff Davis in
attempting to set up Southern con-
tedeacy, onl y tried to carry out what
Calhoun had taught. If the character
of this man, Is as Mr.. Cleveland
says, calculated to stimulate patriotic
enthusiasm, then Bob Toombs and
jeff Days ought to be venerated. If
to be secessionist and an enemy of this
government is to be loved, then An
drew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln
are to be hated.
Before the president INDUCES in any
Ore sentimental gush over traitors,
living or dead, it would be well tor
him to seek relief from the terrible
strain imposed on him by the judicious
selection of consuls and postmasters,
and stimulate his 'patriotic cnthusi-
asm' by reading the lives, characters
and public services of Judas Iscariot,
Benedict Arnold, jeff Davis and John
c. Calhoun.

st. Paul Globe: A reliable re-
port comes from Headquarters that the
Northern Pacific elevator company
viii this season erect in Superior on
the dock and slip adjoining the North
ern Pacific Coal and Iron docks, a
grain elevator with capacity OF 1000,-
900 bushels. This is the result of
Negotiations by outside parties with
the railroad company They propos-
ed to build such elevator if the rail
road company would guarantee a stat
ed amount Of grain, and the Northern
Pacific Elevator company comes IN
under its contract with the railroad.
The main advantage of this Will be
that vessels can bring cargoes without
going to the upper end of the bay or
into St. LOUIS bay. Also it renews
the hopes of the people of Superior
that the Northern Pacific Railway
company, now the largest owner of
taxable property in the town and
county, will fulfill its promises and
advance its own property interests by
bringing all its trangfer business to
Superior.

wisconsin For Blaine.
Burnett Co. Sentinel.

buFUett 20 SelLncI-
Horace Rublee, editor of the Mil
waukee Sentinel, was at Washington
a few days ago and in an interview ex-
pressed his view of the Blaine feeling
in this state. Rublee is evidently a
Sherman man and he would like to
make it appear that the feeling is
against Blaine in the state, and for his
man, but does not succeed very we'll;
II think that the men who support
Blaine in our state feel Just as kindly
to him as they eyer did, but many Of
them doubt the policy of his being
candidate. Again, several with whom
| haye talked express their opinion
that it would be better to nominate
some one who would better unite
the party than he would. The indie
pendents who went against him two
years ago would 90 against him now,
and think know some who voted
for him before who would not vote for
him the second time. There is
large German element in Wisconsin,
and that has never been in favor of
the nomination Of Blaine. If Blaine
were out of the field Sherman has al
ways been a favorlte in Milwaukee,
and he would stand well in the state.
He would be perfectly satisfactory to
our people.
1t can be seen that he is not sure of
the ground he is treading upon and
that he is somewhat afraid that he is
somewhat alone; that he is not sup
ported by the people of the State
The fact of it is, as we believe,
the Republicans of the state are in
favor of the denomination Of Blaine,
believing that he lost nothing, that he
is as strong rs eyer. They believe
llliI buJ IOI luC uuIOIIuitdLt uji6ItUCGS
of Burchard, and the DeImonico din
ner, for which he was in no wise to
blame, he would have carried New
York, and to-day been the occupant
of the Presidential chair. They rec
ogize the fact that he is head and
shoulders above any man of his party
and for once they want TO see a broad
guage man as President, who is CON
yersant with the needs of his country
"a statesman. If the convention
should take place this year instead of
in 1888 nothing could prevent the
nomination Of Blaine but himself. Of
course the leaders of the party are OPP
posed to him now as they always have
been, but they must stand from under
for spell, the rank and file took the
bits in their teeth in 81, would not be
lead, and will do 50 again in 'SS. And
don't you forget it.

The Earthquakes.

CITY OF MEXICO, May 9.-The
government today received the first
information of the effects Of the recent
earthquake at Bahispe, Sonora, by
which $50 people lost their lives. The
earthquake occurred at 3 p. mat the
same time when the volcanic eruptions
began in the neighboring mountains,
lighting up the SUBMITS for long dis
lance. The prediction is made here
by local scientists that Mexico is about
to undergo q general seismic convuI-
sion, and recent records of earthquake
shocks show them there is widespread
volcanic activity from one end of
Mexico to the other.

From the West Superior items in
the Duluth News Of the 18th we take
the following:
The question of village organization
Is occupying considerable attention,
and the meeting next Saturday after
noon to consider the same, will pro-
badly be an interesting one. 1t is
thought the general sentiment of West
Superior citizens will be in favor Of
organization, One Of the important
questions will be that Of a name for
the new village, and the opinions in
regard to the same are somewhat divld-
ed. People at the old town will like
ly enough favor the name Of Superior;
those at this end will mostly favor that
Of West Superior. There are some.
however, who are in favor Of a new
name altogether Among the names
suggested are Zenith, Gladstone, Par
nell, Hiawatha, and numerous others.
1t Is quite likely, however, that the
name, West Superior will be retained.
We trust our friends will not loose
sight Of the main point at issue, incor-
poration, in their desire to determine
what the new infant shall be called.

The Marquette w stcry.

MARQUETTE, Mich, May 10.-The
discovery Of John Flynn, after p
years absence, has been the topic to-
day. 1t is determined to sift the mat
ter. Lawrence Donahue has not vet
been taken away from the house and
no one has succeeded III getting sight
of him. His mother refuses to let any
one in, and being her sons natural
guardian, in the absence of charges
against either of them, nothing can be
done until the legal matter is settled.
She said to-day that her son was not
sick, that he weighed 200 pounds, that
she shut him up ten years ago because
his school mates plagued him, and
that he had meyer been out since and
didn't want to 90 out, and that he
could go if he wanted. He is in an
upper room, and as soon as the mar
shall comes with authority he will
force entrance and bring him out. She
says Lawrence swears like a pirate to-
day because the officers took the old
man away. There is no doubt that he
has been there nine years, as the young
men here remember teazing him till
finally she shut him up. The old man
when he went into confinement Il
years ago weighed about $50 pounds.
Yesterday the officers mistook him for
a poodle, as only little dry, yellow
face showed through the long hair in
bed. He weighed 9S pounds.

Wisconsin Saturday afternoon, May
IA, 1887, at $50 o'clock, SHARP, to
discuss the importance of obtaining a
Village Organization, and the steps
necessary to be taken for the purpose
of attaining that object.
Very Respectfully,
J. J. ATKINSON,
Chairman of Com
The above card fully explains itself,
and we only desire to add that the i'm
nortance Of the occasion demands and
should recieYe prompt attention. The
Importance of organization and moor
poration have been so often discussed
and pointed out in these columns that
they need not be repeated now. 1t is
hardly likely that we shall be able to
attend the meeting, but every reader
of the TIMES knows our position on
the incorporation question, and that we
favor it, provided always, that all of
territory known as Superior and West
Superior, Superior city, Middletown
and Connor's Point, are embraced in
one and thesam corporation. Let us
get into a position to do something,
and to do that something in legal
and business like way.
